This pizza is really different than what I'm used to (NYC), and I enjoyed it. Totally surprised me, in a good way. Stopped in to get a slice before a hockey game. Or so I thought. Easy to park in front. The place is huge. When I walked in, I was greeted by the people working there. They don't sell pizza by the slice, however they do have a smallish, oh I forget 9" or 10" pie, thin crust. I asked for that. It was made to order. Was worth the wait. Pizza comes cut in many squares - kind of fun to eat. Good for a group. The crust was thin and delish. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the sauce and there was a little bit more than I would like. However I found myself oddly addicted. Happy I went. read more

George's Pizza - Thin crust. - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Minnesota

(Georges pizza Austin, MN) Service was good. We got pizza & spaghetti. It had been YEARS since we were there last so thought we'd try again. Pizza was ok, not much meat on it. Spaghetti sauce flavor was good, but there was hardly any on it. It was thick therefore it "sat" on top of the noodles. Could have used about 2 more times the sauce on it than what it came with. read more

The homade pizza ( has a viewing area to watch) was pretty good. All the ingredients were proportional to the pie, you don't get a choice of type of crust its all thin crust. Service was alittle slow took a while for our waitress to come and take our drink order. The inside was clean. Will I return, possible read more

Decent place to eat but horrible value for what you get. We ordered nachos as an appetizer, they had to be the worst nachos I ever had (picture attached). AND Ketchup salsa... ew. The pizza was a 6.5/10 and was $20. Just go to dominoes tbh. read more

George's Pizza - Worst nachos of my life. Dry meat and ketchup salsa. $10 too! Horrendous. - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Minnesota

Apparently there was some big schisim between George's and Steve's pizza... at least that's how the story goes. When I last lived in Austin I was 5 years old so I can't say for sure. Luckily I got the chance to try 'the original Austin pizza place', this past week. The crust was super thin, and the pizzas were good for sharing, size-wise. But the sauce just didn't really do it for me... whether it just wasn't too flavorful or there wasn't enough of it, I can't say. Still, it was tasty enough that I split a pizza with Bill. They also have cute little glasses of MGD, or High Life... I can't remember (which shows those aren't my typical beers of choice). But they were just too precious not to get one - in other news I think that's the first time I've used the term 'precious' to describe a beer. As for the nachos... that was a bit confusing. Their menu includes: Nachos with Salsa, Nachos with Cheese, Nachos with Jalapenos, Nachos with Beef, etc. This led me to ask... 'nachos with cheese? don't all nachos have cheese by definition?' There was some discussion at our table about whether there was such a thing as a 'nacho chip', but it became apparent that this was kind of an 'a la carte' nacho situation. We ordered nachos with beef, salsa, jalapenos and cheese... and everything showed up on the side in tiny bowls. Weird. I could comment on the decor, which included a selection of random items, but why spoil the fun... George's would be a recommended stop for an interested Yelper in Austin but if I were in town again I'd have to hit up Steve's so I could compare. Bonus, their dining room is open as late as they deliver: 1am! Score! read more

George's Pizza - Medium pizzas. - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Minnesota

This is a tale of two pizzas. We had perhaps the worst taco pizza we've ever had. The sauce was sweet for our taste, there was little cheese and it was not even served with sour cream. However, the house special more than made up for it. That was a great pizza with balanced flavor and a nice crust. The homemade sausage was fantastic. The atmosphere is ordinary small town pizzeria, but the service was prompt and friendly. There is competition in town, but this place can compete. read more

Super disappointing visit. The wait staff was unfriendly and not very attentive (few other customers). The building was cold, and every time the door was opened any heat inside escaped. Now to the food. Our simple sausage pizza came with "extra cheese" per the waitress. I don't know if it was a new pizza maker or a new recipe, but but it was soup. Definitely not the George's I grew up on, and simply the worst pizza I've had. read more

My family has been enjoying George's Pizza for as long as I can remember. Thin crust only, nice crunch to it and a large assortment of topping to choose from. There Gondola sandwich is also a huge hit with friends and family. I hope you all enjoy this review. read more

George's Pizza - 1/2 Greek - 1/2 Beckle Special - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Minnesota

See all

My wife' is from Austin and for more than the past thirty years or so, no visit has been complete without a stop at George's. Never again . There's a new owner and judging from recent reviews here, on Yelp and elsewhere, everything has been on a downhill slide. We went there this evening. Server got our soft drink order wrong. Well, stuff happens.But after almost an hour, everyone else in our family group had gotten and eaten their pizza and the table next to us who came in substantially later had also gotten theirs. Uh, their pizza was ours., Our table had three or four pizzas. Kind of difficult for waitstaff not to notice that one pizza was missing and three people had no food in front of them. They finally got us a mess . . . I mean a round thing with some tomato sauce, gooey cheese and bits of sausage, Definitely not the delicious, baked to perfection pizza we had grown accustomed to over the decades. We ate this soggy garbage because it was getting late and we were tired. Frankly, a frozen pizza would have been better. They told us there would be no charge because of the foul-up. Uh, what they meant was there would be no charge for the lousy pizza - everything else they charged for. You'd think the manager - we're told his parents own the place - would offer an apology. Nope. He just explained that it was fair to charge us for our soft drinks and salad.No apology at all. (And a guy making your pizza who has a long, somewhat unkempt beard with no net is not inspiring.) It's over for me and George's. Lousy service. Lousy pizza. It was great for more than 30 years, but it stinks now. read more

Bar none, best taco pizza in the world! Crust is some of the best in the business. New owners as of early 2016, same great food I've had the last 18 years. In fact, the new owner ran outside to give me my glasses I left on the table. Awesome dude, awesome staff, same great food since 1958. Love it! read more

Definitely love George's and always make it appoint to visit when I'm home visiting. BUT I will never come around if Dewight is around. My husband, my brother, friend, and myself came in with my husband's service dog. Not only did he scream to get her out of here. (Who also was in his arms) He was completely rude and yelling. As we presented the Paperwork he looked at the paperwork rolled his eyes and said whatever. As we walk to our table he said " fucking stupid" REALLY. Not to mention he has a full beard and no hair net over it. HE MAKES PIZZAS. I definitely will be calling the owner who we personally know. Love the food and people. But don't ever let him touch your food without washing his hands and no hairnets. Oh and tells my brother who works there that if he requests days off he can't be here. My husband who's in the service came home and everyone is okay with his brother taking days off. He had our server tell him and not dewight who is a manager. read more

Very bad. Took at least an hour for our food. My dad is diabetic so he has to eat at least every 2 hours. Once we got our food, it wasn't how we ordered it, and it was at least 30 minutes to get the correct order. With 1 hr 30 minutes at the restaurant we finally got to eat. The food was very disappointing and the pizza was poorly made. read more

I got the House special pizza and it was delicious!! This place is one of a kind for it has a spot where kids can go watch the guys make the pizza! Really neat addition on top of great pizza. I highly suggest it! read more

Love George's, great Pizza and the Gondola Sandwich and Gyro's are the family favorites! Drivers are always friendly and they get here quickly. Highly recommend George's Pizza. read more

Georges for me is the BEST pizza place in town! They make incredible thin crust pizza that is to die for! They also have a variety of other good foods including spaghetti and other various italina items. Outside of the pizza I highly recommend the Gondola! It's a warm sandwich that include various meats and veggies (or whatever you want on it). Their garlic cheese bread is also the best in town! For pizza that have a number of specialties but I usually stick to the basics - Italian sausage and beef (the italian sausage are sausage balls and they use ground beef). The environment is pretty basic and blah so nothing great there. They do have a space where kids can go up and watch the pizzas being made which is neat (I still remember doing this as a kid!). The price is a little more spendy than what you would pay at a Godfathers or Domino's but the cost is well worth it! read more

Locally Owned, Austin Staple. FAVORITE nostalgic pizza place in austin. Whenever I'm home, I get their GREEK pizza. Yum!!!

One of two great independent pizza shops in town. I suggest the Greek, but there is also a pizza that isn't on the menu called the Beckle special that is very good. read more

George's is absolutely the best hometown non chain pizza place in town. Great choices, excellent service.

My wife is from Austin. Left there in 1973. She still misses Georges Pizza. The last time we visited about 25 years ago I loved it too. Hopefully they will still be cranking them out when we finally get back there in a year or two. read more

I had the Lasagna last night - I was pleasantly surprised - much better than Steve's

Absolutely fabulous thin crust pizza cooked in a super hot pizza oven just like they do in Brooklyn joints like Di Fara's & Grimaldi's. It toasts the crust & imparts a slightly smoky flavor. The homemade sausage is great as well. It's a treat to find a gem like this hidden in a small town. read more

The pizza was basic (good and basic), but the people were very nice. They have a spot for a kid to watch the pizza being made, and when my son pointed out that the caricature of George looked like me, they laughed and invited my son to have a pic with the sign. Nice family place. read more

What great pizza they have! Some of the best thin crust in all of Minnesota I'm quite sure. For sure George's is much better than Steve's a couple blocks down the street. Not even close competition. I highly recommend. read more

Really good pizza. My wife is from Austin and this is her favoeite pizza. She introduced me to it and i love it too. The hero is the sauce. I love it read more

The staff were nice and friendly. The restaurant was clean and spacious- but the pizza was so-so. We decided to give it a try since I had a Restaurant.com certificate for it, but I don't think we'll visit again. read more

Forget my last review/comment about questioning whether this pizza is worth 40-min drive each way. It is definitely worth it! I just went back today and got 4 pizzas. I was craving it the last four days since trying it for the first time. We've traveled the world, and on the drive back home today we were saying that this is the best thin crust pizza we've had anywhere! That includes NYC and Italy (Rome, Florence, Pisa, Bologna). So glad this is located close to home. We'll definitely be back. read more

I am a Fan! This place is great since the new owners took over and are getting to know their customers. It had been years since we had stopped and had never been to the new location. It was amazing. Great idea to add an observation platform so kids can watch pizzas being made. Great family experience. read more
